LaSalette Shrine Christmas Display

-

Last week I went to see the Christmas light display at Roger Williams Park Zoo and this week I went to see the beautiful FREE display at LaSalette Shrine in Attleboro, Ma. I went last night when the weather was warm so there were lots of people there. The lights come on at 5:00 so I made sure i was there before that and I was so surprised at the amount of cars already there. The Main parking lot was full so I went to what I call the overflow lot which was 3/4 full. That over flow lot is circled in red in the picture below.


Admission is free but there are food booths set up that sell hot chocolate, hot apple cider, fried dough, hot dogs and there are fire pits so you can buy the makings for smores. 
There is also an areaset for little ones with a train ride and carousal.

There is so much to see you should give yourself an hour to walk around. There is also a gift shop to go in and warm up on a cold night. They also have the bathrooms inside open when the lights are on.
Here are some of the sights which look so much better in person than in these pictures.








If you go please leave a comment and let me know what you thought of your experience.

Newport, RI

 This time of year is perfect for a trip to Newport. I went this week when the temperature was 80 degrees and it was a perfect day.  First stop was Fort Adams State park. The views are beautiful on the water. There is plenty of free parking and there are restrooms inside the gift shop. There is a fort to tour but I wet on Tuesday and that is the one day of the week that it is closed.  There is a tall ship that calls Fort Adams home. That ship is the Oliver Hazard perry. After a short stay at the park with a nice walk around the water, I headed to Thames Street to eat lunch and go shopping. There are so many cute shops both on Thames Street and along the water. There is street parking for $2 per hour or lots where you can park for up to $15 for the day.  I found plenty of street parking.  Went to lunch at TwentyTwo Bowen's. My waiter, Stephan, was fabulous! Food was yummy but be prepared to pay a little extra for the beautiful views on the dock. My roastbeef au j...

Cape Cod Getaway

 Once memorial day is here the population on Cape Cod gets extremely high so I always like to take a few days down cape just before that time. The weather is usually on the warm side and the beaches are empty. I don't go in the ocean but I do like to walk along the beach and sometimes just sit and read. I find the sound of the waves quite soothing. I stayed at Ocean Mist Beach Hotel in Yarmouth. This hotel has their own private beach and plenty of ocean front rooms. To save money this time I got only a partial ocean view room. I paid $99 per night and with taxes and fees it totaled $136. I have stayed here multiple times and I love the view.   I had a king bed and a sleep sofa in my room and a small deck with two chairs. Before settling in for the night I enjoyed the hot tub to myself. So relaxing to sit in the hot tub while listening to the ocean. I made sure to set my alarm so I could be out on the beach for sunrise at 5:22 am. The sky was gorgeous. There is so much to ...

 Today I traveled to Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. Their Annual Sand sculpting Classic is underway. Over the past weekend the sculptors made the sand sculptures advertising the sponsors for this event.   They are incredible. It is amazing what someone can do with sand. Now it is time for the sculptors to start their own artwork to try and win prize money. $6000 for first place $4000 for second $3000 for third $2000 for fourth  You can also vote for your favorite on Saturday and the winner of that peoples choice gets $1000 The artists were allowed to pack and stack their sand today They get 8 hours on both Thursday and Friday to complete their sculpture. They will then be around for a week. If you get the chance you should take the ride up tp get a look at these. Parking along the beach fill ups quick so get there early. Those spots are $3 per hour. There are also lots where you pay one price for the day. Most were $30 but I found a lot for only $10 for the day and ...
